PC-9 April 17, 2007 The motion to close file on Comm. 267 and all related Communications and passage of Bill 79, as amended to Draft 2, was carried by the following vote: In Favor: Committee Members Ford Higa, Hoffmann, Jacobson, Naeole, Yagong, Yoshimoto, and Chair Pi1ago. Opposed: None. Absent: None. Excused: Committee Member Ikeda. CHR. PILAGO: Thank you. Ms. Ford. Ms. Ford moved to commit Bill 79, as amended to Draft 2, to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to the full Council. Seconded by Mr. Jacobson. CHR. PILAGO: Can you qualify that and tell us why, please? MS. FORD: Yes, I do think it's important that we have more public input on this bill. I realize that a lot of people are uncomfortable with it. While I believe that this should be done, I understand that because this is a change of zoning, it should go over to the Planning Commission. CHR. PILAGO: Thank you, I just wanted to make that clear. Thank you, all. MR. JACOBSON: I have a question, this is actually to Casey, isn't this if we pass this out of Planning Committee, don't we automatically commit it to the Planning Commission? MS. JARMAN: This is one of those special provisions in the Code for what happens, and when you're recommending an amendment to the Zoning Code, prior to first reading, it has to be sent to the Planning Commission for their review. They have 120 days in which to review. Under the Code, it says, "The Council shall refer any proposed Council-initiated amendments to the Director and the Commission prior to the first reading." So, you can either bring it back here and then you can have a resolution sending it prior to first reading. MR. JACOBSON: So, it's not automatic? We would actually have to make this motion and vote on it? MS. JARMAN: Yes. Page 46
